borders act for change is a go!
đŸ“£Borders Act For ChangeđŸ“£
As we near the end of 2024, we at SBCAN are delighted to launch 'Borders Act for Change'.
We invite you and your Community Group to commit to taking a positive action in February within your community. We are thrilled to announce some funding will be available to support these activities. This funding is available on a first come first served basis and applications will be assessed weekly.
This initiative came about from the Youth Green Summit we hosted back in September 2024. Young people expressed a desire to take meaningful climate action within their own communities while connecting with other groups across the Scottish Borders. However, due to logistical challenges of bringing everyone together physically, Borders Act for Change was created. This initiative allows for decentralised but coordinated action across the region.
